When thunderstorms are expected to hit Greater Manchester today as Man City parade affected
A yellow warning for thunderstorms was in place across the weekend for Greater Manchester, but it was only yesterday afternoon that it made itself very known. Within minutes the hottest day of the year turned to thunder and lightning with flash flooding.
The extremely sudden severe rainfall caused water mains to burst and some were trapped in their cars as they were submerged in rainwater. Some lanes on parts of the M60 motorway also had to be shut following the heavy rain.A further thunderstorm warning from the Met Office is in place today with the potential for a repeat of yesterday's torrential conditions.
Despite the blue skies and sun this morning, thunderstorms are forecast to hit the region twice today. They could first hit at around midday before the blue skies return. Elsewhere in Greater Manchester, Stockport has the potential to see thunderstorms from around 1pm this afternoon through to 4pm. A dry spell is then expected before the return of thunder and lightning at 5pm.
